Are you sure Talisker is your moisturiser rather than your scent?

Go with the watch, though. I really must do this meme...

Well I drink it whenever I feel thirsty - is their another type of moisturiser?

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

That's crazy talk.

I got my first watch when I was 40 days old. My grandfather gave me a tiny rolex.I was allowed to wear it when I turned 8. It lasted me till I turned 18. But then I started having to open the glass dial and stick the needles back on a couple of times a day and reluctantly gave it up. I then bought myself a nice simple titan with a delicate gold clasp. I felt nice and grown up as I had earned that money myself. :)

For the last eight years I have been wearing my latest love, a simple Cartier - black leather strap, rectangular face with roman numerals, and a tiny blue diamond to indicate where the key is. I love it and will probably wear it until it falls apart.

Hmm, what I started saying was that I almost always wear a watch and have even been known to sleep in one. It has been 26 years now, and I tend to feel a little lost if I can't see the time. And I need to see it on my wrist - looking at the cell, or at the computer clock, or at the clock on the wall is just not good enough. Ummm...have I ever mentioned that I tend to be a bit of a what they called a Type A personality?

I used to wear a watch constantly, and then about 6 months ago I found myself without one - a strap had worn out on my favourite, the battery was gone on the back up, I couldn't find another, and I wasn't wearing waistcoats anymore so I didn't wear my pocket watch - I realised that my phone has a clock, though, and if I really needed to know the time I could look at that. Presto, a minor liberation!

If I go to New York this spring, though, I will buy another fake rolex since I like the idea of wearing one on many levels...

I am loving the whole waistcoast pocket watch idea. How sad you don't do that anymore :(

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

I might go back to wearing them, don't worry - and I still have the pocket watch.

Jeans should be: 501's. I thought "Don't wear" was part of the underwear answer...

LOL!

Mascara: I thought we were using the term "collateral damage" these days?

Hahahaha!

[pshtaku.livejournal.com]

I've only just got this!

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

That's because you don't have my combination of dyslexia and an inability to accept reality...

[itchyfidget.livejournal.com]

It only occurred to me that you might have dyslexia because you dropped a comment somewhere hereabouts that I read this morning. Else, you'd never know.

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

It's only something that pops up if I'm tired, and usually around reading, not writing.

[itchyfidget.livejournal.com]

Interesting, thanks. Assuming you don't mind being interesting ;)

[pshtaku.livejournal.com]

I was aware of one of those traits in you - but not the other!

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Very mild and hardly worth the calling.

[itchyfidget.livejournal.com]

I only got it because it was something of a burning thread on my journal a while back ;)

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I just couldn't let it lie...
